Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate self-medication practices among 334 medical students at Copperbelt University in Zambia, highlighting a lack of information on this topic.
- Results indicated that 61.1% of students reported self-medicating, mainly due to long queues and time constraints at health facilities, with 4th-year students being the most likely to engage in this practice.
- The study emphasizes the need to educate students about the risks associated with self-medication, particularly concerning the rational use of antibiotics.
